The Narrow Pulse Cut

The narrow pulse cut is based on logged NCD signal and is coded as a SNOMAN hard-wired cut "flt_narrow_pulse_cut.for". The parameter for this cut can be found in "filter_flth.dat" :

*DO   FLTH  34  -i(30I -I)                      #. FLTH: Narrow Pulse Cut
#.
19750101        0     20380517 03331900   6*0   #.   Standard Database Header
19750101        0     20380517 03331900  16*0
#.
250             #. threshold on width of pulse

A event is tagged as a narrow pulse if the FWHM (full width half maximum) is less than 250 (or the first parameter in FLTH). A narrow pulse can be caused by micro discharge or so-called endcap alpha.

To use this cut, one can put a call flt($narrow_pulse_cut) in the programmable event loop. The cut returns "tree" if the event is a good event.
